Icon4 Hi everyone

Well, tomorrow was my due date. I am trying not to get too depressed over this. I can't believe how fast time has flown since I lost the baby.

I've been seeing my Rheumatologist faithfully and not seeing any improvement whatsoever. I was constantly tired and just no desire for much of anything. I got sick and this last week she took me off my methotrexate for a week and I can't believe the difference in how I feel. I have energy and I feel good. Not as much pain as I thought I would have. Of course this got me to thinking.

I want to try one more time for a baby. I am seriously considering staying off the meds, stopping the BCP and trying again. DH has said it is up to me. I told him it was a joint decision but he disagrees. He says he is for whatever I want but that I am the one who has to go through the ms and possibly losing another baby. He knows what losing two already has done to me and doesn't want me to go through the pain of losing another baby but if I want to try he is willing.

I am almost 42. What are the odds of having yet another miscarriage? My last baby I lost came back with Trisomy 21. Aren't the chances of having another Down's Syndrome child even greater? I want to try but not sure if I can bear the heartache of another loss.

Decisions, decisions.....

Oh Sher
This time must be hard for you!!! Hang in there!!!

About having another one. I don't know what the odds are of having downs again but I would think very low. GO FOR IT GIRL. I am sure you would always wonder "what if" ya know. And for the mc anyone can have one of those so don't even think about it.

Let us know what you decide!!! I will be rooting for you and I am sure everyone else here will be too!!!
